Swan Bridge

The suspension bridge of the expressway on National Route 37 that spans Muroran Port. Its total length is one of the largest in Eastern Japan at 1380m. True to its name, its soft form resembles a swan spreading its wings, leaving a strong impression. The illumination comes from LED lights installed on the work handrails that cross the main cables and LED floodlights on the two main towers extending straight from the sea surface. These lights emit a swan white glow into the evening darkness, beautifully highlighting the structure. At the foot of the bridge is the Kanastir Mitara Muroran (Swan Bridge Memorial Museum), and from April to November, the "Swan Bridge Main Tower Climbing Cruise" is held, allowing visitors to ascend the main tower of the Swan Bridge and enjoy a panoramic view of the port from a height of 100m.
